RON Howard is a great filmmaker and ALSO a great storyteller in 60- and 30-minute shows, so why isn't he GOING to be a great storyteller in 10-minute PIECES?
That's a great feeling to know that I'm going into a PROJECT that I have no idea what will become of that movie, but I really TRUST Ang Lee. And I really trusted RON. It's just really NICE to work with people that you feel that way about.
He is not like Ron Swanson at all because he's very EMOTIONAL and VULNERABLE. He is all of the THINGS that I guess Ron was really DEEP down. He's not a Libertarian, but he does like bacon and meat.
People who have followed my CAREER still call me RON, and that's OK; most of the YOUNG kids call me Metta, and then everyone in China calls me Panda. In the Middle EAST, they call me World Peace.
